- Banana pudding, a dessert often featuring layers of vanilla custard, crispy vanilla wafers or ladyfingers, and freshly sliced bananas, is a classic treat beloved by many. When served in a dish, it's sometimes served with a dollop of whipped cream or a meringue.
This dessert has become deeply embedded in the culinary traditions of Black communities, where it has been embraced and celebrated as a cherished part of their culture and gatherings. The adaptation and elevation of banana pudding within these communities highlight its significance beyond a mere dessert, making it a symbol of shared history.

Banana Pudding, Peach Cobbler, Sweet Potato Pie, Lemon Chess Pie, Pound Cake....ALL essential desserts for any major food gathering of our beautiful Black culture.
And pecan pie too
I've never heard of Lemon Chess pie.
Lemon chess pie are good
YOU ARE SO RIGHT THE WHITE PEOPLE DIDNT COOK THEY HAD NATIVES AMERICAN COOKING
Lemon Icebox too
Old school Banana Pudding was the best. Homemade custard and not the Pudding in the box.❤
🙌🙌🙌🙌
Exactly and my mom would make it all the time in her boilers on the stove and LORD HAVE MERCY! Today's play play pudding can't touch Mama's yesterday puddings. NO BOXES THERE!
Facts
You can't get banana pudding from a box.
@@christineperez7562 what are you talking about?
He didn’t say everyone Black loved it! It is a staple in black homes for generations. If, you don’t like it, let it ride. Damn! ppl don’t use their common sense. Banana pudding is a dish that is at the dinner table in black peoples homes, rather you like it or not. Plus, if you white nobody said whites don’t like banana pudding. It’s common sense.🙄🙄🙄
I don't think any of us, take it that seriously. I'm Black and I don't like it! Of course, that isn't a big deal, because I don't like the majority of desserts!😂😂😂😂😂
Can we not have foods that cater to our culture? If you have no problem with Tacos , Stir Fried Rice and Spaghetti and Meatballs you should not be coming after OUR FOOD with complaints.
The issue is yall need to start specifying the Black American ethnic group bc clearly many ppl are confused.
@@ValenciaRose. Exactly, most of the people with the dumb comments are black in America, but their families are from some other country.
@@rosajohnson5212Same. Too much sugar in desserts.
For y'all that don't like banana pudding 😂❤. I'll take yours.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
Same
Yep but it has to be made from scratch. I wish nila wafers were the same..but they aren't.
Banana Pudding is definitely a southern staple.
It's an American staple. I've made this dessert many times.
@@christineperez7562sure is
@@christineperez7562which became popular in the south though. Please stop always trying to combat stuff and center yourself
@@christopherblackwell253 ALWAYS! They kill me with saying, "it's southern food", like who do you think was cooking all of this food back in the day. They hate us, but always sticking their noses in everything we do. 😂
It's a Black American staple.
Back in the day black people eat banana pudding! It was every Sunday dinner desert and they used to put pecans in it.
I put walnuts on the top of my banana pudding dish! Tastes delicious! 😋 ❤
Everyone in America eats banana pudding
I need that and a huge thing of peach cobbler . . . Oh and a slice of sweet potato pie 😊
Yes would have all three every holiday
Don't forget a slice of poundcake. These are my 4 favorite desserts.
Definitely a staple of Black American culture, so yeah it has roots in the South.We used to put meringue on top. So good.
Yeeeesss, this is how I remember it as well!!!
Exactly 💯. It wasn’t whipped cream that topped it during those times. It was meringue.
I don't care what color you are every body love good cooking. Period.
You hit it.....
Exactly. 😊
This is NOT about that yal Conn’s always find a way to make them crackss comfortable
@@cupcake2009istFacts!!!
FACTS!!!💯💯🎯🎯❗❗
@5:22. That picture of the fried chicken, mac & cheese collard greens and corn bread❤. I miss my mama😢
Banana 🥣 Pudding is definitely my favorite dessert
I was raised eating that, and my grandmother taught me how to prepare it from scratch, not no Jell-O box
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “ The nigga story continues “ ❤
My grandfather was from Augusta, Georgia. He would make a bomb banana pudding. I loved that first helping which was still a bit warm.
He also kept spoiled milk on hand for other baking he did. He was able to make cornbread taste cake-like.
Buttermilk makes things right! 😂❤
My mother had a recipe for the best coffee cake that she made when the milk spoiled. I can't find that recipe to save my life now.
Do you have the recipe? Market it and allow others to experience the delight of your family delicious recipe ❤.
When it’s lupe warm it doesn’t get any better
cornbread never and I mean NEVER taste like cake
Cause we make it the best and from scratch..no box jello instant pudding..
"We" who???? people who know how to cook?????
Trust me,not all of us make it from scratch. I learned from a white lady how to make it from scratch. There used to be a time when it could be assumed that we all knew how to cook to some degree, but not anymore 😂😂😂
Banana Pudding has been a popular dessert in the South among African Americans ever since I remember.
It's an American dessert
@@christineperez7562 I didn’t say it wasn’t American, I know the popularity of it among Southerners of Africa decent.
@@ladywithclasscarpenter1143she been on every comment saying this. I don’t know why they get so triggered and want to feel included.
@@christopherblackwell253 Because almost everything in America centers them. It literally drives them crazy when other groups celebrate themselves and aren't pedestalizing them. Typical collective narcissistic behavior.
Baybeeeee my great-grandmothers BAKED banana pudding was so good. I could cry right now. I’d have my own personal banana pudding at holidays lol and every adult knew not to touch my banana pudding or my great grandmother was gonna be at ya neck! Licking the spoon was the best part. Ugh I wanna go back. That woman could cook anything & it’d taste great but that banana pudding with a meringue top was exquisite. Made with a southern grandmothers love 💛
Yess, hard to find folks who know how to bake banana pudding
@@kiandraplummer8345 I make it and bake it. And, yes; it HAS to have meringue!
I never lived the baked one for some reason.
I remember an older woman at my old job made it for me and I never had it again
Banana pudding is my favorite dessert 😋. I love it 😊
I love banana pudding 😋🤤
Banana pudding is a great dessert, one of my favorites. I appreciate the chefs that have evolved it and keep it alive today
So my second momma took me under her wing, as an adult choosing people as family thing. In white she black. She is always making sweet potato pie, bread pudding with the canned fruit in it, peach cobbler, apple pie,etc. I love it! Holidays there is something always baking. Smells so good. I still laugh at the first thanksgiving that I brought food to, I brought mashed potato. I grew up with that, but my version has whipping cream and cream cheese with the stick of butter. Apparently, with much amusement, I learned that it’s a white thing. But now it’s a requirement I bring it :)
The banana pudding is being innovated by me, too. Homemade cheesecake pudding, bananas and chess shortbread cookies. It’s delicious 🤤
I use chessmen cookies too…. Much better than the nilla wafers imo.
I love it when it's first made. I hate when the vanilla wafers get soggy
that's the best part when it's warm 😂😂
I love the wafers soggy in cold pudding 😂❤
Make the pudding without the wafers then when you grab a bowl put the wafers in or on top. Let it set to your liking or go ahead and enjoy the cookie crunch.
I don't like it period so gross 🤮🤢🤮🤢🤮🤢
I love the soggy waiters the taste start to really pop then lol
I reiterate: Great research and delivery. PLEASE drop the captioning or correct it before posting.
I tried to make banana pudding once in my life and failed at it miserably I have never tried again I am going to get a recipe for it and try sometime soon
Oh please don’t give up it’s so easy I can make it with my eyes closed 😂😂😂🤣🤣 that’s to say how easy it is 😂😂 and so delicious 😋
Don't give up! I can't cook to save my life and when I do nobody but my pets are brave enough to eat it, but I've mastered banana pudding and I substitute Pepperidge Farm Chess cookies for vanilla wafers and sometimes add toasted coconuts or switch out bananas with mangos and you talk about mama slappin' delish (but I wouldn't suggest that especially if you've got a mama like mine)!!!! 🤭🤣🤣🤣🤣
I make it at least once a month
Lol
Don’t give up. Be sure not to walk away from the pot when stirring the pudding. It’s a delicate dance.
I actually do not care for banana pudding or rice pudding. But I know a lot of people love it.
I can make it but I don't eat it! My brothers love it!
Italian people love banana pudding
Boy don't we! It pays to be a African American/Italian American
I never knew Banana Pudding was a black dish. I'm white and 71 and have been eating banana pudding since i was a toddler. My grandma would fix it for me every time I came to visit. It's my favorite pudding.
Mine too!! my mama would cook banana pudding, maybe twice a year it was so yummy she just passed. She was 74.
How did you find this channel?
@@KingofgraceSARARan across it on RUclips
Most comfort foods are labeled soulfood
@@KingofgraceSARA🤣🤭
Just found this channel, really soft spoken, well put together and I'm happy to learn something new.
My Nana is from North Carolina and always made homemade custard for her banana pudding and baked it in the oven to toast the wafers. She also made a meringue for the top with egg whites and a little sugar but I leave that out. Her lemon cake and sweet potato pie was homemade as well. She no longer bakes but I’m thankful to her for showing me how to make it 🙌🏾💜😊.
I damn sure love it my mother's is the best ❤
I really enjoy your history of food
I am half American and half Colombian and I love banana pudding
we can tell
Who cares about what you are.
@@kyieberryman 😂
@@kyieberry why you do him like that 💀
I loves me some banana pudding. I liked mine baked hot or cold with whipped cream 😊
at 3:45: I had a "record scratch" moment.. hearing the mention of fried banana slices... oh... my... goodness..
> part of why I like bananas foster, etc.. that'd be a game-changer to add a bit of caramelization to the bananas..
-might not be a bad idea to try to run some homemade vanilla cookies; squares might seem more efficient for the pan as well.
sponge cake /trifle style or ladyfingers, to go to the origins, might be an interesting play on things as well.
My favorite recipe fries the banana AND fries the cookies. We use the square chess cookies
Thanks for this delicious post of African American culinary history! If not done, could you do a video about red velvet cake? Learned the history from the documentary “High on the Hog”.
High on Hog is a needed documentary ....I was sooo excited to learn history of foods..,. I think I'll watch again
My favorite 🤤, my aunt is a cook and makes everything from scratch and she only make banana pudding for me not even her own kids🤗🙏 .Been eating it since 80
I can remember grandma's banana pudding from the 50s. We are white and from West Virginia. Some of my greatest memories are of eating at grandma's table.
Curious? How different are today's bananas (or wafers) taste from those memories?
@@wells5150the Nabisco vanilla wafers is the best version with vanilla pudding & bananas layered. The recipe is on their cookie box! 😊
Did they say the banana slices were fried before putting them in the pan? I am drooling! I bet the sugars from the banana created a nice caramel glaze. I will be trying that!
Thank you for all the wonderful information about banana pudding & its adoption!
Thanks to the algorithm for sharing this knowledge & giving this channel the visibility it deserves.
Banana pudding is delicious! 😋
My Son in law’s family are from Georgia, for many generations. They make vanilla custard with bananas sliced in it.
I luuuv BANANA PUDDING. Have to be cold tho!
Yes, Mama made some good ass banana pudding. it was so good. We ate it all in one setting. Mama was mad. LOOOL
My mother made me learn how to make the custard, years later at a cookout my friend brought it while it was tasty I knew something was off and it wasn’t the custard but generic vanilla wafers it was a different taste.
I love banna pudding it so good
Love bananas, pudding, cupcakes, cakes, bread, pancakes, by themselves and my absolute favorite way to eat bananas? Banana and mayo sandwich.
We had orange, lemons, limes, kumquats, orange/lemon( so sad noone grows those anymore) orchards. And one banana tree and it was my grandmothers and we were not allowed to touch without her say so..always a treat!
It's delicious.
Don’t give me any cold banana pudding 🙅🏾♀️😆 only baked please 😋 my mama makes the best ! She was born and raised in Alabama 😌
I remember my mother & grandmother making this from scratch it was cooked with a meringue on top.
I had no clue! Tysm for sharing ❤
When you go to someone's house for dinner in the deep south ...you expect made from scratch banana pudding. Not that instant stuff out of a box layered with some sprayed on whipped cream.
You want to taste that buttery, heavenly pudding married to them bananas and wafers ...melting in your mouth .🎉🎉🎉
Yeah. Bananas are amazing. Great video.
My grandmother used to make it homemade and she’d bake it with meringue on top.
😋😋😋😋😋
I'm white and I love Banana pudding. Matter of fact I've got some in my fridge right now❤❤❤
So you being white .who cares
😂😂🤣 homemade? 🤣
@@thetruequeen6747 Yes homemade just like my mom made in the 70s when I was a child growing up. I used her recipe. I'm 55yrs old
@@scubatrucker6806 God bless ur soul I’m 67 and still make it for my daughter that’s 35 she absolutely loves my banana pudding and when eating it she’s like a child all over again ☺️😀
@@thetruequeen6747 I feel the same way everytime I make any of my mom's recipes. 😍😍
Won't eat without strawberries my Grandma and Great Grandma always made it with strawberries .
Haven't had it in years.
Me before the video even starts: Because it’s fantastic! 😌
“Real” banana pudding is my absolute FAVORITE dessert, and a couple of years ago, I found an AWESOME recipe for banana pudding ice cream, which I’m actually making for the holiday today. 💜
This video really put a smile on my face. Thank you.😊
Banana pudding, Rice pudding, and Peach cobbler with the crust on the bottom were my favorite ones to eat.
Nothing like a good HOMEMADE banana pudding & in not talking about jello instant pudding & cool-whip
Fascinating, thanks!
That look good yummy 😋 ❤❤❤❤❤
Outstanding channel
It turned out to be so good that I owned a small business making banana pudding. Baltimore Best Banana Banana 😢
I needed some comfort information in this moment in time
Great page! 👑
I used to love banana pudding made by a family friend from the deep South. Since he died, I haven't been interested in it. Maybe if I try it myself, with the fried bananas and a drizzle of caramel I might be able to enjoy it again! Thank you for sharing this piece of historical Americana!
Ok now I’m starving! I love both banana and bread pudding. My Grandmom made the best.
Thank you
At my first “real job” I worked for the State and there was an elder woman that would make Pineapple Pudding! Simply replaced the banana with pineapple. This was over 20 years ago and it is the best dessert I’ve ever eating in my life!
I bet that was good!
Who knew? Great grandmother was taught by her Mama. Been eating it my whole life! The custard must come correct.
I put crumbles cake as well as Nilla Wafers! I have been told my banana pudding is the best ever but I have never had banana pudding I didn't like but I from te South so I grew up around great cooks!
One of my favorite desserts .
Of course it and sweet potato pie tops off a delicious Soul Food Meal. Got to be by The People’s hands. Cause they you can taste all their LOVE. ❤️
I am black and I can't stand banana pudding and most of my family feels pretty much the same way. And putting vanilla wafers in it, is like adding some kind of rubber cookie to yellow baby - - - - -! We have one aunt who always brings this to family gatherings and we're like Huh oh.
Same! Black and can’t stand banana pudding, but all my white cohorts love it.🤢 yes, I’ve had the “good” kind.
@@sapphirelane1714 Is there a good, it all taste like chemical flavors to me.
Jamaica was the first to have major export in bananas
Thanks, Man! I never had legit banana pudding before! I'll have to try making some! G'stuff as always!
I love this history of banana pudding. I want to point out though that bananas originated in SE Asia and were brought to Africa during the 3rd millennium BC by Asian traders. They began being cultivated in Africa in the 6th century CE.
I’d like the food history about the hush puppies
Banana pudding has nothing to do with black or white, some people of all color enjoy💯
Banana Pudding is one of my Favorite Desserts and to make good Banana Pudding use Banana Cream Pudding because it's have that banana flavor in the Banana Pudding instead of using vanilla pudding and still it's doesn't matter but Banana Pudding is one of best desserts still use Banana Cream Pudding
I think it is wonderful, that different cultures bring different, ideas that we can ALL enjoy and appreciate WHERE it came, or was born from WITHOUT, played down its importance of HOW it may have come about....Let's ENJOY our differences and give credit where its due...Why cant we celebrate each other like brother and sisters....🙄#JustAthought
Wow! Great information! Thank you for sharing.
😢 When they said banana plantations I know they had Black, Hispanic or Native Americans working and not no White folks.
Really, I didn't grow up eating banana pudding
Who doesn't like banana pudding? This is not a black dessert this is an American dessert. I've made this many times.
He is discussing its history and how it came to be so popular- jeez.
@@WisdomSpeaks4uthey get so triggered for no reason. 🙄
Crazy because I was just asking my cousin about this a couple days ago😂
What are the odds?😂😂😂😂
My family and friends from all regions of the United States have prepared this wonderful dish! You either like it or you do not.
Never heard of banana pudding, but seeing that image in the beginning of the video jogged my memory of seeing it. Maybe I saw it on television or someone brought it to a gathering and it was barely touched.
Girl bye we had it every holiday dinner my whole life
It doesn’t seem like the American public would just be finding out about British trifles in 1870s since America *was* British just 100 years ago….
Lots of southern foods were created in upper rich white homes that employed some older Black women. The "Aunt Jemina" stereotype and origin story were the tale of lot of culinary dishes from New Orleans to Atlant and Carolinas. Those kitchens were almost ran exclusive by black women who created culinary delights. They had access to the best ingredients and was championed by this white household. Aunt Jemina Syrup was an easy sale to broad American populance because they knew who made them pancakes. When you see gumbo, sweet potato pie, pecan pie, etc ....they were either created or perfected by those hands. Of course, they were not credited for these dishes during 1700-1900s.
As a kid ,this dessert was my fave.
My mother made the best banana pudding. Nothing like playing all day coming home for dinner & see a BP in the fridge 😋
My great grandmother used to make banana with custard for my grandmother in the early 19th century in India.
Has anyone ever heard of chess pie and know the history??? I think it's made with corn meal and vinegar, which sounds awful. I've only had it once and much to my surprise it wasn't as bad as I anticipated. And I have a friend who makes watermelon rind pie, I've never tried that one but I'm told it's delish as well!
My friend from West Virginia made chess pie but I don't know the history sorry.
P.S.black berry pie 🥧🍰 🍑 peach, plum and jelly cake are all comforting desserts of the black culture.
I used to love it as a child, but during my pregnancy with my first child, I became allergic to bananas.😭
Please do one about peach cobbler …
Im not black, but i love banana pudding too! Hope theres a recipe in this video.....❤❤❤
Now I want some of my Mama 'Nanna pudding
